“Hello Richard, my son Briton and I took a tour of the factory a few days before xmas and I wanted to thank you so much, it’s very generous of you to teach us so much. I came in thinking of dreadnoughts and left wanting an om. I’ll come in and order one. I also wanted to say that your prices are very fair considering that you spare no expense in construction and materials. You certainly have a great thing going. Thanks again
